I just started my Harman Advance for the year the other day. It seemed to run ok but a few hours after running it had blinking lights ( Im not sure which - I didnt find it myself). It had warmed up and I didnt need the stove so it was just shut off. Later, I assumed by looking it hadnt fed pellets ( no fresh ones in the auger near the pot).
Today I am trying to start it since heat is needed ( this is my only source), and it wouldnt start. I turned it on then left for about 1/2 hour and when I came back nothing.. Well just the Following ( for that entire time)
The Combustion fan comes on for about a second, I get the normal hum ( i think thats the Combustion fan - not positive) then the fan shuts off. A few seconds later the same thing repeats. Once in a while the feed motor turns on very briefly during this repetitive cycle, but generally just the Combustion fan. One time everything started running for about 15 seconds properly, I manually turned the knob to off to see if it would restart properly, and it just went back to the old 1 second Cycle.
After much spinning motors by hand, Unplugging for 5 minutes, twisting all knobs, it finally started and has been running for about 20 minutes, but I have no confidence it will continue to run
My Thought is that the Feed motor is Bad, but I want to get other input.
Any Ideas?
Also- Where can I purchase parts Cheaply ( VS the Harman dealer). I remember a couple years ago someone had found a supplier for motors, but I never wrote it down of course.
Thanks!
